Introducing the BIG Reference card

By Parravon, in X-Wing

WAVE IX VERSION IS NOW OUT.

Changes include:

the addition of the Using Cargo card text

the addition of all the Wave IX ships

and a slight addition to the Dual Upgrade section to cover what happens when you have to discard a dual upgrade card (or any upgrade card).

Would it be possible to get the Combat phase flow chart on this?

I would totally tote these around like the Ten Commandments.

Version 9:

Does not have the T-Roll

Also there has been an FAQ change to Tractor Beam, the work "may" is there now.

Surprised nobody made this joke yet.

YOU HAD TO HAVE THE BIG REFERENCE CARD! (salad)

I didn't include the T-roll because it's in the rulebook. I'm trying not to reproduce stuff that's in the FAQ or rulebook if I can avoid it. Just all those pesky little reference cards.

I have, however fixed the Tractor Beam entry, but considering it's a fairly minor typo, I won't send everyone new versions just yet. Thanks for spotting that one Ken.

barrel roll? =3

There is no such card.

yes there is, its a modification that came with the ARC-170

also there isnt a token for ept or mod actions

I think u missed something with decloaking because you also cant decloak while you are ioned because you dont reveal your manuever dial and you only do straight 1.

decloak happens before anyone revels you maneuver and therefor regardless of your maneuver (or lack of one) you can decloak

Blail Berg was asking why Barrel Rolls weren't on the BIG Reference Card, not about a modification that wasn't around back March 2015.

I made the tokens so I can keep track of these things myself, and I thought others might find them useful. Which a few people have.

The decloak comment was from also March 2015, and it was a valid point until they changed the decloak timing in FAQ 3.0 at the end of that month.

Wave X update complete. Added the new ships and the FAQ entry regarding red maneuvers when you're stressed. Slightly different layout to the maneuver charts also.

Thanks for the pdf! Love these...

Started working on BIG Reference Card XI and I have included the latest FAQ updates so far. Also included is the Timing Chart for Performing an Attack from the FAQ. It's grown to 6 pages now, but that's only 3 if it's duplex printed back to back.

@Parravon Hey man, any chance of updates for this? Your reference cards are my favourite to use. Cheers :)

BIG Reference Card version 12 is in the works and I'm just adding maneuver details for the new ships to it.

You're the bomb :)

Finally got images up on the front page. Due to Photobucket being so damned painful to use, I've swapped to something easier. :)

As I noted above, Version 12/13 is in the works. The maneuvers have been added, and I'm going to wait another week or so to see if there's a FAQ update to go with the latest wave releases. If not, y'all be getting a new BIG Reference Card.

SPOILER ALERT: Page 6 now has the Attack Timing chart.

That's odd. They're showing up for me. Is anyone else not seeing the two card images on the very first post of the thread?

I only see 2 grey stop signs. Think you used google images and you see them because you are logged in to your google account while we do not have the right to see them.

And there I was thinking it was working fine. :( Back to the drawing board.

So who has the easiest photo hosting site out there, so I can post images of the BRC?

I've been using Imgur.

I like it, but docked ship doesn't include everything. With the ghost when you undock, the rules are slightly different then other ships. take a close look at them.

The Docking entry on the BRC is supposed to cover the basics, and actually isn't from a reference card. I really don't want to add ship-specific rules if I can avoid it. It's inclusion is only players that may not have bought a ship that can dock other ships, and therefore may not have the applicable rules.

The new BRC covering Waves 12 and 13 is now available and has been emailed to those on the distribution list.

If you used to get this and for some reason it's not coming through, or you've changed your email address, then just message me and I'll send one through.

True, but the Ghost is one of the most popular models in the game. I actually lost a small tournament, because I was flying the ghost, and the judge ruled that even though I un-docked on my own without the ghost being destroyed, that I couldn't shoot with my esra shuttle only take an action. I tried to show him the rules, but he was adamant about it, because he had the basic docking rules, not the ghost rules. You might want to in this case add the ghost rules just to be clear. I had a range one shot with auto turret on a 1 health IG88, but couldn't take the shot and he killed my ghost, then time expired. I ended up coming in second place because of it.
